This is the third comic book I have read by Dr. Pira, and I admit I am mesmerized for the third time: amazing cameos, a very good plot, and memorable drawings. Pira’s style may seem childish, but he is very good. I don’t know if it is a relaxing read, but surely is recommended! Rating: 🔮Hey, thanks for reading my blog via the RSS feed!

I love Park Chan-wook because his movies have everything: humor, tension, action, and good metaphors. This one isn’t an exception. Rating: 🌳Hey, thanks for reading my blog via the RSS feed! Feel welcome to get in touch!
Imagine there’s no countries It isn’t hard to do Nothing to kill or die for And no religion too Imagine all the people Living life in peace Bullshit. Alas. I remember our teachers from elementary school. They tried their best to educate us about the importance of peace. In those years, the war in Kosovo was the latest one and 9/11 was on the horizon. I recall many events organized by my school, for example in the medieval church of my village, with readings and songs against conflicts performed…
I would never have thought my girlfriend would appreciate a movie by Guy Ritchie, but she did! She has more of a Mary Poppins style when liking films, but I’m glad she appreciated this classic. Of course I had already seen it at least twice. Always great. Rating: 🔫🔫Hey, thanks for reading my blog via the RSS feed! Feel welcome to get in touch!
I just read James’s post on using greyscale on mobile and definitely want to try. Other than that it could help me use it less, maybe it could also be useful for increasing battery life — or maybe the opposite, if the color processing is done after… Bah, too much thinking. Let’s just do it and see. Hey, thanks for reading my blog via the RSS feed! Feel welcome to get in touch!
I don’t remember who recommended Octavia Butler to me as a sci‑fi author, but after years I finally started a novel by her. *Still in progress* 🏃Hey, thanks for reading my blog via the RSS feed! Feel welcome to get in touch!
When I was eight, our teacher hung a yellowish piece of paper on the blackboard and said, “Copy this.” I was sitting at the end of the classroom and suddenly felt confused. I could only see a large, blank sheet. After a while, I remember raising my hand and asking shyly, “Mrs. Teacher, I can’t see anything there.” She must have been used to that because she immediately replied, “Try getting closer.” I took a couple of steps toward the center of the room, and Huey, Dewey, and Louie appeared on…
I appreciated the surreal atmosphere and the sense of humor. Recommended British-style comedy! Rating: 🥸Hey, thanks for reading my blog via the RSS feed! Feel welcome to get in touch!
Super-cute and quite funny, I expected it to be more moving as others from Pixar. Anyway, I liked it a lot. Rating: 🦎👋Hey, thanks for reading my blog via the RSS feed! Feel welcome to get in touch!
I can’t say it’s amazing, but… sincerely OK. The story is interesting, but surely not tense. Rating: 👌Hey, thanks for reading my blog via the RSS feed! Feel welcome to get in touch!
Finally I have realistic #ListenBrainz statistics since I managed to sync the scrobbles from iOS! This month my most played albums were: 1. First Came the Shadow - First Came The Shadow I found this album thanks to the Apple “related albums” to Sagor Som Leder Mot Slutet, and I was pleasantly surprised! It is delicate and strong; it has it all. I quickly listened to the whole discography, but it needs more attention. 2. Pinocchio - We Stood Like Kings Bandcamp suggested this to me, and I was…
Wonderful story and characters, impressive and unique animation. Truly recommended for everyone! Rating: 👍👍Hey, thanks for reading my blog via the RSS feed! Feel welcome to get in touch!
I’ve never been a great fan of Matteo Garrone, but this movie has a very particular aesthetic… Other than that, I didn’t like it. Rating: 🤔Hey, thanks for reading my blog via the RSS feed! Feel welcome to get in touch!
I started reading this novel the day before the movie trailer was released. I loved The Martian — I have high expectations! Well, the feelings are mixed. I found the most appropriate review on Hardcover. The story is amazing and the pace is very good, but there are no emotions, and the style is quite poor. I can’t wait to watch the movie because Rocky is an amazing character! Rating: 🗿Hey, thanks for reading my blog via the RSS feed! Feel welcome to get in touch!

Today the nostalgia mode is activated — the radio started it. I’m so easily influenced by music! It’s strange to say, but I come from an era when playlists were made on cassettes, recorded from the radio or other CDs and cassettes. I made a dozen myself for my friends, and Adam’s Song playing this morning reminded me that it was a constant in those years. Enema of the State by Blink-182 was one of my favorite CDs in middle school. I still remember when a friend of mine lent it to me. At that…
While browsing the web I often came across the term “indieweb”. I still don’t fully understand it, but I surely love its philosophy as well as the small web, Web 1.0, etc. That’s why I first created this blog on Bearblog. The Tech More recently I learned about microformats2 and how they could transform static websites like mine into precious gold mines. They can provide simple commenting systems with Fediverse integration, show the likes of a webpage, or just the mentions. About the latter,…
This is my very first entry for the IndieWeb Carnival, this month hosted by Pablo and the topic is Adventure. I’m astonished I never found time before. Shame on me! I was quite an amoeba until a few years ago. That’s it. If I were on my own, making my own choices day by day, I’d probably never step out of my comfort zone. Maybe I’m a coward, but honestly I think I was grown in laziness and routine. Dangerous life at its finest. Luckily for me, my girlfriend changed our approach to vacations a…
Quite upset because the only way I could find to scrobble listens from iOS to ListenBrainz was to buy a third-party app (Marvis Pro - €10) and then scrobbling to… Last.fm! Then, using a Python tool, I synced the listens to the ListenBrainz account. It runs on crontab on my Raspberry. Darn it, Apple. Why make things so complicated?

Lately, I’ve been working a lot outside. We’ve built a pergola, covered a concrete cylinder used as a well with stones and old bricks… and I’ve listened to a lot of music. Metal music. Specifically, post-metal music. The latest Neurosis album made me (re?)discover a playlist that contains some gems. I hardly appreciate some of them, but definitely have others on loop. Jesu is one of my favorite discoveries, and Boris were quite a surprise too! It’s particularly juxtaposing to listen to this…
